These exercises should only be performed after evaluation by a qualified medical professional and under their instruction.
Should you experience pain or discomfort while doing an exercise, stop immediately.

Elbow Ranges of Motion - Flexion and Extension

Sit comfortably in an upright position. Lift your right arm directly in front of you. Your right arm is straight and parallel to the floor, and your right palm faces up. Reaching energy down your arm and through your fingers, feel your right arm lengthening. You'll feel a gentle stretch across the top and bottom of your elbow.

Next, bend your elbow all the way - without forcing - keeping your upper arm parallel to the floor. Again, feel the energy going out through your fingers. You'll feel a gentle stretch across the top and bottom of your elbow. Relax and lower your arm. You may repeat this stretch on the other side.
